Re: Internal email for small 400 customer

["John Taylor" <john.taylor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Our mail system (internal only), consists of Outlook Express 5.x clients
with POP, SMTP, and LDAP running on the AS/400.

The LDAP, working hand in hand with the System Distribution Directory,
provides shared address book support. It does work quite well for lookups,
but the main disadvantage is that the users can't add their own entries
through the email client.
